This dude literally saved me and my buddies lives a few years ago. Rescued us from Libby Flatts in a blizzard. Just wanted to say thank you again. You might remember us... the ones that had the deaf couple that we picked up on the way.

[@corruptioninalaska817]

snow machining in Alaska , we learned all of these the first day , great tips ,we rock the sleds side to side when pulling on the skis

[@W4RD1N8ER]

liked the tips! I am new and riding an old yammy v max she got stuck today 3 times but sailed over some deep shit today I was suprised! 23 years old and I walked it over six feet of fresh powder likes I was rippin an 800 its only 600 cc its a 1994 v max bloody heavy but still had tons of fun on it. Not my favorite first sled due to the fact it handles like garbage but once you get used to it you can still have a blast!

[@rochboulanger6565]

Nice video with good advice. Just to add, have you ever heard of a Stuckmate? It's a little gadget you fix to your throttle/handle with a seperate trigger at the end of a 6 foot cable. When not overly stuck as you said in your video, it makes it so you can pull your own ski while pressing the throttle. Even with a buddy there, you can each pull a ski while simultaneously squeezing the throttle. Pretty nice gadget.

[@J-C8573]

You can also flip the sled on its side, put snow in the hole where the track was and put it back where it was

[@uncordobes]

Thanks guys for taking the time to do these videos. Really helps out to see things done rather than having to remember what someone told you.

[@billharmon4438]

@highliftjack.com

[@rlgoers]

Appreciate the tips... A Snobunje is handy to have too, if you ride the deep pow. One trick I use to avoid getting stuck is to stick to 2-strokes!!! LOL

[@krispazik4682]

love your videos, especially the music, also like how your unbiased on 2 stroke vs 4 stroke, I ride a turbo viper, rather dig out my sled once in a while than to work on it every week to go ride on the weekends

[@Yamahauler54540]

Amen!

[@Damaluma1379]

Not sure if it would work in mountain deep snow, but here in ontario I got a trackjack.ca last year and it’s a game changer. Helps get the sled up and over onto fresh snow.

[@ryanburgess8436]

tree wells are where i fuck up!

[@scn102]

nice vids bro ,, always wanted to go deep snow mountin ridin , buddy goes out to wyoming , says i mite not like it ,whole dif kinda riding looks bad ass ,,its on my bucket list ,lol, we live in chicago , ride up north wi, and upper penn mich , regards scn

[@loudelectronics]

Nice vid! Good points about safety and 4 strokes being up side down.

[@KrazyCanadian990]

Great video guys,hard work for you but we all thank you!

[@22eckhoff]

you havent been stuck until you get stuck with a yamaha 4 stroke two seater

[@Slayer-zl6ql]

they all get stuck?

[@Slayer-zl6ql]

@Aiden Maves i guess im staying with my 2 stroke enticer 250 :/

[@claypetersen1430]

how about a 1200 ace on a 154x 1.25 rev xu with the double seat and 20 gallons of gas

[@rodirby5952]

that's y I ride a Phazer longtrack when I am riding alone, I know I can get it unstuck by myself

[@chevycorcoran6271]

Happened to me and my dad took me and him 1 hour to get it out with the help of his girlfriend thank god we brought snowshoes with us to use as a shovel

[@xRobin2475]

That Yamaha looks amazing!

[@phoenixarizona8441]

Awesome video I learned a lot of these growing up

[@datboiagain5656]

Hi! i have two rather old beasts of snowmobiles. #1 an old 70 harley and #2 an old 88 skidoo. The harley is down for the count for now but i use my skidoo frequently. It's very different from now-a-days lighter yamaha's and others like that. Are there any tips or special things i should know about the older snow machines?

[@BrettMatthewsMusic]

4:00 thats it boys roll er into the tree hahah sweet video!

[@jonahdaltondozcoolthings7538]

Nice video. IT ACTUALLY HELPED ME GET UNSTUCK ON MY SNOWMOBILE! 😃👍.

[@jtschid0910]

@RumfordSledhead Where do you ride, flat land or the alpine? What size sled do you ride? Are you an aggressive rider or do you stick to the trails. I am 16 so it wasn't too long ago that I was your age. I have found that in the very, very few times that the old man does get stuck, don't hesitate to go to the rescue. Then you have something to hold over him.

[@donlee5514]

I agree. You make great videos but stop the annoying background music.

[@aksvan]

watching while stuck

[@CharleyThePlumber]

I wish I would have rode these trails years ago when I was able , now I’m to old to get that far off beaten path

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

Get stuck too many times ruins the day, I stuck with roads and open areas when we used snowmobile. Haven’t been snowmobiling in a long time.

[@hygrometer]

@RumfordSledhead always be counter steering and leaning prior to feeling yourself slowing down...maybe you will snap a nice powder turn and prevent yourself from digging a hole

[@stingley907]

Most of the time you can get unstuck with a ski pull and rocking the sled back and worth while applying a lot of throttle can sometimes launch you right out of a stuck. Just put the track back on the snow and your free

[@andersonandrew112]

the Pro rmk's would walk out of quite a few of those situations

[@QuickSilver1817]

Thats a sick Lime Nine wrap

[@Menthos341]

Subscribed, awesome videos, keep em coming ! :)

[@faighting43fate]

1:40 Its amazing kit! Arctic cat + snowboard + Hard core growl

[@RavMan26]

good video but no music next time - tip videos with music just take away from you talking

[@londonola7977]

RavMan IT sometimes but I feel like in this vid it was fine cause he made the music quiet when he was talking

[@maatassavaan4481]

Snowmobile must always have snowshowel. Just mine snow from front and under foot rests and ready to go.

[@godog26]

get a yamaha bravo 250, she'll go anywhere and if you do get stuck, you can lift the whole sled up

[@sleds7283]

right on, i used to have one but now i have a yamaha 250 enticer which is something like the bravo.

[@Tysonfidek]

grain shovel break at the scoop we have had to weld so many! just from grain and who wants to carry around a grain shovel

[@thomaskoller9317]

I carry a 1 ton come a long and 100 ft of nylon rope, usually get stuck near trees.

[@sdobbs20]

@RumfordSledhead don't get stuck! when you're 40 years old you won't want to dig someone out either. if you're about to get stuck try and turn out and ge pointed back downhill.

[@Pipitarutor]

I just bought my first one and no friends of mine are riding... How am I supposed to learn? Thank god for KZbin.

[@jlegresley]

Yup, agree w Havard, go get yourself a Ski-Doo Summit....

[@YatziukiProductions]

You guy should make a GoPro mounting tutorial video

[@tylersabiston2403]

Of course it's the heavy Yamaha guy giving tips on how to get unstuck.... 😂😂👌

[@firsttimemoddingpaul3292]

what snowmobile do u ride???

[@Rprecision]

Powder Jack ! Yamaha's should come with 3

[@spitfire6942]

Also good to wear high vis so your buddies can find you easier when your stuck lol

[@RumfordSledhead]

Hey guys I think I should tell you me and my dad stick to the trails....also yes it would be nice to pull a powder turn and get out of their but when you ride in nh....THERES NO POWDER!!! D: And lastly, my dads an old geezer. He likes to run fast and burn gas! He stays on trail and only goes off to keep the engine cool

[@NVMDSTEvil]

If its over built it wont break, it will just be heavy. $15 Aluminum grain shovels are almost better than the larger snowmobile shovels..

[@9412life]

i don`t know how many times i have been stuck i the snow whit out a shovel by my self. Last time i was stuck for like 1 hour and after like 50 meters i was stuck again for like 10 minutes :P i just had my hands and som straps to find a way to get free from the snow :P sometimes it`s just hard to be a snowmobiler ;)

[@markbrad675]

That is some crazy shit.To much work,just don't get stuck,yeah right.

[@1waukesha]

STUCK SLED + SNO BUNGEE = UNSTUCK SLED (no sweating involved!) (oh I mean the cobra sled to sled bungee not the rattler the one with the handle, I wouldn't waste my money on that one again)

[@kx65andyx85rider]

I won't need to know this sense I live in MN. We don't get snow more then 2 inches

[@elegantsloth2707]

What are you talking about I live in mn and we get way more then that

[@kx65andyx85rider]

+Tattiest Loutus well obviously but last 2 years sucked ass and if we got snow it melts in the next 2 weeks

[@BambiOnDayZ]

Up in Canada here and we have about 1.5 feet of snow rn and its only oct 19th!

[@RumfordSledhead]

[@coltonknox4714]

Where is this

[@Alpatriod]

my method to not getting stuck is buying a polaris :)

[@W4RD1N8ER]

Alpatriod I like polaris they have some sexy rides but I still see my bro's digging them out of deep powder. Any sled gets stuck we were pullin yammys and polaris out of the powder today and a few cats also, everything that showed up today got stuck lol was a great day!

[@Slayer-zl6ql]

@@W4RD1N8ER the only sleds i know that barely got stuck were the good ole elans and bravos. the enticer 250 did good in fresh powder as well. these are old sleds but still are strong trail breakers today. and if you get stuck on one, there so light you just lift them out. Also does anyone know if the new phazer is heavy at the front?

[@rodirby5952]

yes the new Phazer is heavy at the front and no power, that's y I ride a 96 Phazer II long track

[@philipp4109]

What is that nytro doing out there

[@davidsolvincent9511]

what shovel is that?

[@Bigbraaapper22]

kind of funny that the Yamaha is the most stuck ride light sleds in deep pow

[@Slayer-zl6ql]

i know, back in the day yamaha was the way to go now the company is being ran by american's. atleast the snowmobile side. when japanese designers were behind the helm it was amazing and japanese knew there stuff! but nowadays like i said americans took over the snwomobile side of yamaha :(

[@abdcontractingltd]

bungee is the best tool to have

I came to watch this video cause I got stuck pretty bad...

[@Greaper54]

[@yonmoore]

What's the music on this? Black label society? Good stuff.

[@jakevollink4616]

Not surprised to see the yamahas and cats stuck

[@salutpierrot]

+Jake Vollink for cats, I agree, but not with yamaha ;)

[@cactusanal9395]

It's not the sled dumb fuck

[@Gooselip]

Will Meyer what u mean? its the rider?

[@nightmaremika]

you haven't been stuck before you have been stuck with a Yamaha :D

[@yttfes]

u don't get stuck with a Yamaha Exciter 440. They are so smal and u cant just take the snowmobile in your bag whenu are stuck xD

[@sleds7283]

man, i agree i stick with my 77 yamaha 250 enticer its darn light and fun! :)

[@maskenmakkan]

I wish my country have snow, i live in somalia....

[@lynnsbomb]

Snow is lotta fun but its a lot of work too.

[@loganjG35]

Move to Canada :)

[@MrJimmydeez]

I rode with a guy the other day that had a snowjack. Jack it up push it over, repeat until not stuck.

[@Tysonfidek]

still you would use all of you energy shoveling with a big shovel so it is better to take your time...

[@NVMDSTEvil]

So dont, it was just a suggestion as an alternative to reduce time spent shoveling..

[@NVMDSTEvil]

here's a tip: carry a bigger shovel, those tiny $130 fancy looking ones take forever to dig out with :(

[@big_ute]

Ive gotten very good at getting my 08 nytro unstuck, its heavy and a pain in my dick but i love it.

[@YatziukiProductions]

hey i have the same shovel

[@billallen4793]

Why doesn't Yamaha use a dry sump system??...from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠

[@snowyphil65]

I bet he's the best one in the group at getting unstuck... Nytro's lol

[@797Recreations]

4 strokes must be a hard time to get un stuck

[@colbychristopher6912]

Never stuck unless your Yamaha stuck

[@fredsousa4020]

Sold my 2 up the next day

[@sebastiangismondi7059]

who else watching this while stuck beyond hope

[@Roddy556]

I am not at the moment but I have watched many KZbin videos while in a similar predicament so I feel you.

[@RumfordSledhead]

Got any good tricks for the 13 year old that CANT stay away from getting stuck? -as in myself... My dad gets PISSED when he has to get me out... I would be happy to pull him out, so why cant he? :P

Actually my comment suggest to use a different shovel, not that you cant use an expensive tiny shovel. Enjoy your mexi-slicks.

[@peuravaara]

yamaha best 4 ever

[@MrJimmydeez]

Never heard of that. I roll mine everytime I get stuck, roll it over ride away.
